To be honest, I didn’t know what to expect from tertiary study when I was in high school. My own experiences were seeing my brothers go through university throughout the week.
University was totally different to high-school. You aren't surrounded with the same people for months on end and so was a new experience. I enjoyed that! For me I studied science (an area I found interesting) and completed the course start to end. But I know many friends that changed course or changed career completely whilst in tertiary study.
Looking back, I enjoyed that I developed a really close group of university friends who have the same values and morals as I do. Their support means everything to me and I did not expect my friendship group to change over the years. I still keep in touch with some high-school friends. But as I have changed and grown over the years, so has my friendship group.
